<p>This rare colorized rendering of Vaslav Nijinsky in "Danse Siamoise" captures one of Ballets Russes’ most elusive moments—an image usually encountered in faded black & white. The colorization here (courtesy of AI) is unusually sympathetic to the era: the muted jewel tones, lacquered reds, and metallic appliqués retain the hand tinted postcard quality of 1910 theatrical photography. It lets us see Leon Bakst’s color palette the way Paris might have seen it under the footlights.<br />
<br />
Nijinsky is wearing his costume from the ballet "Les Orientales" which premiered June 25, 1910 at the Theatre National de l'Opera in Paris. It consisted of a series of oriental themed dances performed by soloists and choreographed by Michel Fokine and Marius Petipa. Michel Fokine who choreographed Nijinsky’s dance was “inspired by a Thai Classical troupe, the Nai But Mahin Dance Company, that Fokine had seen in St. Petersburg in 1900.” [NY Times, Arts Section, June 24, 2010] <br />
<br />
"Danse Siamoise" was a brief but electrifying study in angularity and ritualized stillness. Nijinsky moved with a precision and angularity that audiences had never seen. Contemporary reviews describe him as “jointless,” “hieratic,” and “feline.” The Thai classical dance vocabulary – bent elbows, hyper-articulated wrists, stylized footwork – left a deep impression, and Leon Bakst’s costume was designed to shimmer under gaslight like a living mosaic. <br />
<br />
Even among Ballets Russes connoisseurs, the dance is remembered as one of Nijinsky’s most uncanny transformations. Observers wrote that he seemed: “Not human but carved,” “A creature of another grammar of movement,” and “A bronze idol come to life.” The dance was short—barely a few minutes—but it was a technical and theatrical shockwave, a preview of the radical physicality Nijinsky would later unleash.</p>

<p>The Galerie Vivienne (French pronunciation: [ɡalʁi vivjɛn]) is one of the covered passages of Paris, located in the 2nd arrondissement. It is 176 metres (577 ft) long and 3 metres (9.8 ft) wide. The gallery has been registered as a historical monument since 7 July 1974.<br />
<br />
History<br />
<br />
The gallery was built in 1823 by Marchoux, President of the Chamber of Notaries, at the location of the Hôtel Vanel de Serrant and the Passage des Petits-Pères. It was based on plans drawn up by the architect Francois Jean Delannoy. Inaugurated in 1826 under the name Marchoux, but soon renamed Vivienne, the gallery took advantage of its unique location. It attracted many visitors with its tailor shops, cobblers, wine shop, restaurant, Jousseaume bookstore, draper, confectioner, print-seller, and so on.<br />
<br />
Located between the Palais-Royal, the Paris Bourse (stock exchange) and the Grands Boulevards, the passage enjoyed considerable success until the end of the Second Empire. But the gallery lost some of its appeal with the move of the prestigious shops to the Madeleine and the Champs-Élysées, and particularly because of the renovation of Paris by Georges-Eugène Haussmann. The gallery has been the scene of interesting events. The monumental staircase of no. 13 led to the former home of Eugène François Vidocq after his disgrace. The convict had become chief of a police squad made up of former criminals.<br />
<br />
There has historically been competition with the newer, nearby Galerie Colbert. Since 1960, the gallery has once again become very active. It features fashion and home furnishings, and haute couture shows held there. The installation of Jean Paul Gaultier and Yuki Torii shops in 1986 helped with the resurrection of the gallery. It now houses many shops selling ready-to-wear and decorative items.<br />
<br />
The Galerie Vivienne and Galerie Colbert were acquired by the Bibliothèque Nationale. The latter houses the Institut National d'Histoire de l'Art.<br />
<br />
Description<br />
<br />
François-Jacques Delannoy conceived the decor in neo-classical Pompeian style covered with an elegant canopy, with mosaics, paintings and sculptures exalting trade. The restoration work rehabilitated the abundant ornaments around the half-moon windows, and the goddesses and nymphs that adorn the rotunda. The mosaic floors are signed Giandomenico Facchina and Mazzioli. Their sobriety emphasized by the repetition of simple geometric shapes is reminiscent of the style of the mosaics of the Rue de Rivoli. The 42 metres (138 ft) long gallery is sheltered by a glazed rotunda with a hemispherical glass dome that allows for air circulation.<br />
<br />
Location<br />
<br />
Located near the Metro station: Bourse.<br />
<br />
The gallery has entrances from the Rue des Petits-Champs, Rue de la Banque and Rue Vivienne.<br />

<br />
Die Galerie Vivienne ist eine überdachte Ladenpassage mit Glasdach aus der ersten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts im 2. Arrondissement in Paris. Die Galerie Vivienne ist ein schützenswertes Denkmal (monument historique).<br />
<br />
Lage<br />
<br />
Die Galerie Vivienne befindet sich zwischen Rue des Petits Champs Nr. 4, der Rue de la Banque Nr. 5-7 und der Rue Vivienne Nr. 6 in einem gemischten Wohn- und Geschäftsviertel in der Nähe der alten Nationalbibliothek. Bourse ist die nächste Metrostation der Linie 3, die Paris vom Osten nach Westen durchquert.<br />
<br />
Weitere Passagen befinden sich in ihrer Nähe: Galerie Colbert (2. Arrondissement), Passage Bourg-l’Abbé (2. Arrondissement) und Passage du Grand-Cerf (2. Arrondissement).<br />
<br />
Geschichte<br />
<br />
Die Galerie Vivienne wurde 1823 im Auftrag des Präsidenten der Notarkammer Marchoux erbaut und ist durch einen Verbindungsgang mit der kurz danach entstandenen Galerie Colbert verbunden. Sie ist 170 m lang und 3 m breit. Der Architekt François-Jacques Delannoy entwarf ein Dekor im klassizistischen Stil mit pompeijanischer Malerei, Bodenmosaiken und Spiegel bzw. Fensterfronten, die den Raumeindruck verstärken.<br />
<br />
Im Jahr 1826 wurde die Galerie unter dem Namen Galerie Marchoux eröffnet, aber bald danach in Galerie Vivienne umbenannt. Die attraktiven Geschäfte (Schuhmacher, Weinhandlung, Buchhandlung, Schneider u. a. m.) und die Lage in der Nähe des viel frequentierten Palais Royal sorgten für großen Kundenandrang. Erst der Bau der großen Kaufhäuser bei der Pariser Oper und an der Madeleine verursachten in der Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts den Niedergang der Passagen und ebenso der Galerie Vivienne.<br />
<br />
Heutiger Zustand<br />
<br />
Nach der Renovierung der Passage in den 1980er Jahren sind neue und attraktive Geschäfte wie die Modeschöpfer Jean-Paul Gaultier und Yuki Torii in die Galerie Vivienne eingezogen. Die Galerie ist gut frequentiert und bietet mit den Restaurants ein vielfältiges Angebot für die Besucher.<br />

The palace began as a medieval fortress under Philippe II and was expanded over four centuries into one of the largest buildings in the world. The Cour Carrée facade dates primarily from the 16th and 17th centuries, with contributions from architects including Pierre Lescot and Louis Le Vau.
